The perfect touseled beach wave

How do you achieve the desired beach wave? First you must have some helpful products, such as hairspray, iron guard, texture spray and and oil or serum; and don’t forget your flat iron! (1 – 1 1/2 inch)

Start with dry hair, sectioning off your hair starting at the bottom. Part off leaving 1 to 1 1/2 inches of hair down to wave. Next, determine how loose you want your wave ; The thicker the section the loser the curl or wave .

Start with spraying your section with iron guard. Next use your flat iron starting at the base of the strand, start turning your flat iron making sure you are turning it in the opposite direction of your face , it also helps to keep the top of the iron pointed downwards while you slowly move down the strand. (Repeat until finished)

If you are looking for a more textured look you can stop turning your flat iron before you hit the bottom of your hair strand leaving the ends straight.Lastly add some product. Use some texture spray at the root of your hair for more volume. Also an oil or serum helps to add shine and break up some of the waves – using a dime sized amount rub your fingers through your hair starting at the ends . Finish the look with a light hairspray to ensure a better hold .
